Troost-Ekong Says Super Eagles Will Use Different Playing Styles Against Russia
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has shared how the team plans to handle their upcoming friendly clash with Russia in Moscow on Friday. Speaking at a press conference hosted by the Russian Football Union, Troost-Ekong explained that the team won’t stick to one playing style. Instead, they’ll mix things up on the pitch.
“I can’t give too much away since the coach is here,” he joked. “But we’ll definitely try to combine different approaches. We have a clear idea of what to do.” He also mentioned that the squad is still adjusting under their new coach, having only started working with him earlier this year. He sees the game as a valuable opportunity to grow stronger as a team.
“There are some new faces in the squad,” he added. “It’s a big moment for them to show they can live up to what the coaches expect.” The Super Eagles are coming off a penalty shootout win over Jamaica last Sunday in the 2025 Unity Cup, where the match ended 2-2 in regulation time before Nigeria edged it 5-4 on penalties.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
